do we need an engagement ring??

i dont think it makes a difference to the relationship. it mostly depends on the individuals. but personally, i think the idea of an engagement is rather sweet. n we all need an excuse for diamonds! LOL! :D

I tend to agree with you. I was married once before and I had an engagement ring that toward the end of the marraige he stole back. Greedy man! I now feel that diamonds are not my favorite and I am happier with something that has more meaning in the way of a stone. I think that it is the true love that you feel that is more important. They also make what are called "promise rings" and they cost much less. I think that people place too much importance on the size and price of the ring.

Yes it is clarifying that but it also a sign of commitment and love and it is sweet and wise to have an engagement period before marrying.

I think there are a lot of people who do still like to have an engagement ring, as a symbol of their unavailability, among other things. Personally, I have never really needed one. I'd be perfectly happy with just something out of a gumball machine. :)
